Client is making me angry
Post Body

I recently built a custom cabinet that doubles as an attic access door for a bathroom remodel. Iā€™m fairly new to being a general contractor, with about a year of experience. The interior designer on the project simply told us to ā€œdo something with thisā€ attic access. Wanting to go above and beyond, I decided to create something uniqueā€”a cabinet that opens into the attic.

I didnā€™t charge any extra for this feature, even though I could have just put up a piece of plywood and called it a day. I spent about 60 hours on this project, aiming to add value and a special touch. To ensure the cabinet door stayed shut properly, I installed a small mailbox lock. While itā€™s not the most visually appealing, it was necessary for the cabinetā€™s function.

Now, the interior designer has called the mailbox lock ā€œunacceptable,ā€ and the client insists we change it. After putting so much effort into this project, Iā€™m frustrated that my work is being dismissed over a detail that was essential for functionality.
